Message: [QUOTE="ATenderLad, post: 78084, member: 3864"] I had to look that one up, what tax hustle does Asylum use to stay afloat?! Did you like the return on Netflix? I kinda loved Patton Oswalt. Easily, and The Room is so overexposed I can't stand it. The "ironic" screenings drove me crazy, at some point you just have to admit you like this wretched movie! Arnold Schwarzenegger and Andre used to hang out and get dinner together, and there's some great stories about an argument over paying for a check. Andre insisted, and when Arnold argued too much the Giant lifted him up and carried him out like a handbag, and set him on the roof of a car in the parking lot. He has so many good scenes, like all the ones with his dad, or the moment he plays the piano. The whole cast was great, come to think of it. I also just watched Creature Commandos, and I think James Gunn is just the best around at this comic book thing. He makes the weird bits relatable, without grounding them in drab reality. (He also just has the *best* taste in music.) .....I feel 91% sure that's from [I]Challenge of the Super Friends[/I]. Exactly, they didn't take chances or even try that hard to establish a theme. That said, I've seen it pointed out that a good horror director can make a good action movie, since a lot of the dynamics of building and releasing tension translate over nicely. Andrzej Batkowiak seems to prove the opposite isn't true, with the movie struggling to provide any scares. (Then again, it's not particularly good action either.) The biggest problem is probably the script? I had a longer section about the writer and his goofy career; his name is in the credits for every [I]Expendables [/I]movie, "featuring characters created by David Callaham". Characters! In [I]The Expendables[/I]! I uh, dropped all of that for the sake of a joke though. Okay, first off? Excellent work. Secondly, I wrote a whole long section on how that character, Portman, is the worst human being who ever lived. He is a walking filth factory, just weird and gross and the actor is *loving* it. I actually knew the movie was taking a bad turn when he becomes the only person with common sense in the second half, insisting they call for backup. I dropped it when the article was looking too long for a silly movie review, but I should include his best quote.

Amazing. [/QUOTE]
